This painting shows a baby lying in a simple wooden trough. Around the baby, three men in robes and crowns stand with gifts. One woman in a red dress kneels beside the trough, holding the baby’s hand. A donkey and a cow stand nearby, and a glowing star shines above a tall tower in the background. The bright colors and flat shapes make the scene feel like a storybook. The writing at the top is in an old script, adding to the sense of history. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
